Abstract

Astrid Graf-Wintersberger im Gespräch mit Richard Kurdiovsky

The following interview, conducted by Richard Kurdiovsky in June and July 2022 with Astrid Graf-Wintersberger – editor at Residenz Verlag, Salzburg, from 1987 and its programme director until 2006, as well as co-editor of the publisher’s 2006 anniversary Festschrift – aims, in the spirit of oral history, to provide insights and information on monographs on architects from the perspective of a publishing house. This perspective may be shaped by different determining factors than those that govern the seemingly objective realm of academic research. The intention and expectation are that this text will serve as a contemporary document: both as a source and a stimulus for future research. It addresses questions regarding the role of publishers in the academic process and in cultural policy, in the public dissemination of architects through the medium of the art book (particularly for a broader audience), in the formation of awareness, and ultimately, in the shaping of the art historical canon.
